Pickup in Mysuru
We collect the group from a home, a hotel or the airport at Mandakalli. Early risers can see Chamundi Hill on the skyline, about 13 km from the city with its temple at the top, as the Urbania rounds the ring road. The van takes the Bannur exit east. Galibore is about 130 km, near two and a half hours. Stays and day visits at the camp need an advance booking with Jungle Lodges, so keep the confirmation handy.
Drive on
Bannur, around 25 to 27 km by road, is the first town, and the Urbania keeps going. The Somanathapura road leaves on the right here. Bannur belongs to T Narasipura taluk of Mysore district, a farm town with a crowded centre in the mornings. Elders can rest; the road so far is flat and straight. Malavalli comes in about 25 km, and that is where the group will eat. Keep the snacks for later.
Breakfast halt
At Malavalli, about 55 km from Mysore, the Urbania stops for breakfast. Twenty minutes is easy for a group with elders. A temple with an ornate gate stands near a lake in town, and the Shimsha hydro station at Shimshapura is in this taluk. From Malavalli the van heads for Halagur, about 21 km away, on the road to Kanakapura. Use the restrooms here; the next proper ones are at the camp.
Junction
The Urbania passes Halagur on NH 948, the old NH 209, about 70 km from Mysore. Halagur lies about 57 km from Mandya, useful if friends join from that side. The river camp at Bheemeshwari is about 15 km off from here, and Galibore, its neighbour downstream, is reached by staying on the highway to Sathanur first. No halt is needed. The van has about an hour left. The road surface here is smooth and fast.
Tea before the forest
Sathanur is about 18 km from Kanakapura and 27 km from Channapatna, and for the Urbania it is the last town before the forest stretch. Ten minutes for tea and the restrooms keeps elders comfortable. Kabbaladurga hill is a right turn on the Kanakapura road, a climb best kept for another trip. From here Sangama is about 25 km, and the camp a little beyond. Mobile signal weakens after this town.
Drive on
At Sangama the Arkavathi joins the Kaveri, about 120 km from Mysore, and the Urbania passes on towards the camp. The bank is rocky and slippery, and several people have drowned here, so elders should stay on the road side if the group stops for a look. The area is part of the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary, and forest rules apply. Galibore is about 10 km ahead. A short photo stop is fine if the forest staff allow it.
Drop at the camp
The Urbania reaches the camp about two and a half hours after pickup. Galibore is run by Jungle Lodges, with about 10 tented cottages by the Kaveri, and coracle rides and birding are part of the day. Elders can rest at the cottage while others go out. The paths are rough in places, so comfortable shoes help. The van parks at the camp lot, and bags are carried in from there.
Want a Mysore to Galibore Force Urbania for a birdwatching trip, a quieter van for 8 to 16 people? It has a high roof, big windows and a smooth ride, good for elders and client visits. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore for the sizes, all at one rate. Galibore is also written Galibore Nature Camp. We pick up anywhere in Mysuru: a palace-side hotel, the railway station, the bus stand or Mandakalli airport.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

The camp is about 130 km from Mysore by road, which is about 260 km in all for a there and back day. The Urbania runs through Bannur, Malavalli, Halagur and Sathanur, then down past Sangama into the sanctuary. Give the drive about two and a half hours each way.
Yes, Galibore one way on request; it runs ₹2 a km over a return, in writing.
Any driving after 10 pm adds the driver's night bata; it is in your quote.
For Galibore, 130 km each way, parking, tolls, permits and GST are billed at actuals.
The 12 seater, so all sit and the bags fit. See every size on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes, the Urbania stays with you the whole day.
October to February is the gentlest time for a riverside stay, with cool nights and dry roads. During the monsoon the Kaveri can rise quickly after rain upstream, and the river activities may be cut. The Sangama area has been shut for a few weeks after an elephant attack, so we check with the forest office and the camp before you travel.
Yes, with some care. The tented cottages are at ground level, and the camp paths are short but uneven. Elders can enjoy the river view and birding from the camp without long walks. Carry their medicines, a torch and warm clothes, since the camp is inside the forest and nights get cool. The Urbania parks close to the cottages where allowed.
